“An extensive range, crowd-free shopping without the tedious hunt for a parking space, the incredible bargains that can be found online, and ultimately the convenience, are all making online shopping a more appealing option for busy Kiwis.”

With christmas just over a month away, GrabOne says it is already seeing an increase in customers searching for gifts.

The surge has caused the online retail provider to refine their Store to enable them to work with more merchants, subsequently improving delivery times to Grabbies (GrabOne customers).

Surveying 7,177 customers across New Zealand, almost three quarters of respondents (74.1%) purchased something from GrabOne websites as a gift.
